Licensing Problem - It's adding things on it's own!

[adamhutton]

I've got a machine that's been upgraded from win2000 server standard to 2003 svr std. Since the initial setup of the 2000 server, it seems to be adding it's own licenses.

It will go month's being perfectly fine, then I'll have to reboot the server for whatever reason, and 10 more cal's appear.

Also, I continually have to revoke licenses in the clients panel of the licensing service. There are many there that are no longer active accounts, or the accounts have been deleted.

Is there any way to clear these accounts out of the licensing service? Or at least get it to quit doing things on its own.


Thanks in advance

Problem with License Manager

Q: I have followed the instructions in Q153140 and Q194065 on how to reset License Manager information. Two days later, I am getting warnings in my Event Logs that my Windows Server is out of licenses. Its finding ghost users that have been deleted from my system for 3-4 years How do I really delete their licenses and make them stop coming back?

A: Many people have reported the same problem. You may want to disable the License Manager and manage the licenses manually.
